I bought this little DAB portable for the bathroom. I am very impressed with the radio itself, super clear quality and small and compact enough to fit on a small bathroom shelf. However, if you want it to be truly portable and for use in the bathroom, you will have to purchase the separate chargeable battery pack - I realised this before I bought the radio and was happy to do so.
I did have difficulties fitting the battery pack into the radio though, this took several attempts, it's not very well designed but once inserted you don't have to remove to re-charge. It is worth purchasing as it will save a fortune in having to replace batteries and helps the environment. I must say the sound quality for such a small radio is very good, I'm so impressed that I've bought another one for my son!

This is as reviews I read before buying .. excellent quality, the 'plasticky' comments before understandable but really not that bad.. Works perfectly .. sound quality excellent for a small but perfectly formed Radio.. LOVE IT!

Looks good and sounds good. Very easy to use, automatically searches for stations and you can then save them. Better still you can plug your ipod into the AUX port with a cheap lead and choose your own music...yay! Colour is gorgeous too. Would recommend.

I bought this for my fiance for Christmas, based on feedback I'd heard at a number of websites.
It is a great little radio, and though it only has the one speaker, the sound quality is excellent, and loud enough for somewhere like the kitchen, bathroom or bedroom. So the sound isn't stereo - so what? Unless you have speakers spaced wide apart, it hardly makes a difference. The radio has a headphones socket anyhow. It also has a line-in socket which means that you could connect your MP3 player to it and use it as a speaker.
Setting it up and operating it is a piece of cake and would be easy enough for anyone to pick up in a matter of seconds. Within a minute of having it out of the box, it was tuned in to 52 digital radio stations and was playing some nice tunes for us as we prepared Christmas lunch.
The radio is a lovely soft pink colour - feminine, but not over-girly - and compact, and isn't festooned with buttons either, so it has a clean appealling shape. The display is also clear and allows you to see the name of the staion, the current time, and the song playing.
The ONLY criticism I have of it is that it doesn't take ordinary batteries. You either use the mains lead, or a special power-pack that is sold seperately. Pure (the manufactureres) say that their battery pack, which costs half as much as the radio itself did, is an economical, environmentally-friendly thing. Sure, it's better than using loads of ordinary batteries. However, I have loads of high-power rechargeables which outlast even Duracells and which can be charged over 1000 times each. But can I use them in this radio? No.
To me, the need for a specially designed battery to ensure full portability smacks of money-making by the manufacturer. That is the reason why I've only given this radio 4 stars. Had there been an option to use ordinary batteries, I'd have given it the full 5 stars without hesitation.
So, to summarise, it's a great little radio, but you need to consider this: the radio itself is about £40. But if you want full portability (ie to be able to use it without mains power), you need to factor in the cost of the chargepack. So overall, you'd be paying about £60 for it. And I can't help but think you may be able to do better for that kind of money.
